About Us

I have always wanted a pet (since the day I was born!!) but for various reasons could never own a cat or dog. Then I was on a career path in the travel industry which definitely meant no animals. I was a road warrior how could I .....?  

Finally, I found myself in a more settled situation and got the menagerie I so desperately wanted .... but the need to travel now and then cropped up. At first I tried a pet hotel. It was brand new (which is always cleaner and better in the hotel business) and we were going to be gone for a week. Although it was inexpensive at first, when you add in breaks and walks etc. it began to get pricey. But our dog was worth it! We dropped our beagle off with her favorite toys and blanket, her favorite food and snacks...all ready for her deluxe suite.    

We came back a day early and learned we could pick up Sophie prior to closing that evening! I was so excited - I had missed her so much! When we got there, Sophie was in a regular room, a black Lab was laying on her blanket and she was visibly thin. We brought her home and she would not look at me for hours. What did they do in there???

Next I tried family members and in-laws. Much as they want to help, let me just say this: dogs do best on a schedule and not even a strict one! If you don't follow the schedule and don't pay attention to the dog, they don't know what's expected of them and then they pretty much do what they want, when and where they want to.

I tried a co-worker/friend. There was a total disconnect between the dog (at this point in time a Westie) and my friend. I came home to chaos.  

That's when I thought I can't be the only one dealing with this. Why couldn't I be the solution for people to help care for their pets? I know what it's like to feel somewhat trapped in your own home because at times, you really are. But at the same time you are unsure of who will honestly care for your cat or dog, not to mention trusting someone enough to allow them free access into your home. So why not be the person I would want, for others?

Suburban Outsitters is here for all the owners who at times feel their plans are limited because of the pets they dearly love; whose dogs or cats only do well in their own home; who are not kennel or pet hotel dogs/cats and are not the type of pet that thrives in a boarding situation. We are animal lovers and owners ourselves and understand how much your pet means to you. And, most importantly we are here to give the special care and attention your pet deserves. This is what we strive to provide for you and your irreplaceable companion when you need help.


Professional Services

Daily Walking/Visits

If your schedule just doesn't allow for time to pay special attention and extra time with your dog or cat, Suburban Outsitters is here to help. We break up their full day of boredom and sleeping away by making sure your pets get plenty of attention, affection, potty relief and exercise. We give them 15-20 minutes of walking, tumbling, rolling around, running or playing so they can burn off some energy and stay healthy, happy and tired! A tired pet is a happy pet - so is the owner! - and exercise is part of the formula. Daily activity is essential to keeping your dog/cat healthy and at his/her optimum weight.

We offer reliable service, reasonable rates and a fully insured option!  

Each visit is a pre-set price (negotiated during your free consultation) no matter if we are walking, feeding and refreshing water, giving medication, just spending quality time or all services in a visit. Food and water bowls are cleaned every visit.

For cats and kittens, we clean the litter box, refresh water and feed. Often times we never see the cats we provide for, as they prefer to sleep during the day and prowl around in the evening, but if at all possible, we try to comfort, play with and nurture our cats. Even though many cats act like they don't need anybody, they do need affection and attention too!

We leave a detailed note after each visit to let you know what happened during the course of our visit. For example, if you feed your dog in the morning but by our 1PM visit we notice his/her food is untouched - we'll leave a note. Or if your pet is normally very active but seems sleepy and lethargic - we will definitely let you know. Any mistakes we find, problems encountered or positive behavior we observe - we'll be sure to keep you informed.

We've been there...we know. We truly strive to do all we can to care for your dog or cat as if it were our own!

Vacation and General Pet Sitting Services

Suburban Outsitters also offers sitting services for your dog or cat when you are away for vacation or business. While we do not stay at your home, we will visit up to 3 times each day to care for your pet. We will also pick up the newspaper, take in your mail, water plants and switch lighting as requested. You can be sure that holidays are our busiest times so please make arrangements as soon as you plan to be away.
